Claude Bolling - Baroque in Blue (Patreon)

I remember being denied the chance to play in jazz band in high school. I was so bummed out about it.

I went to my next flute lesson and told my flute teacher and she told me that not having flute in jazz is "utter bullshit." Martha Davis is a queen.

After that day she fed me small bits and pieces of jazz albums and pieces composed specifically for flute and I remember dipping my toe into the shallow end of jazz fluting.

This was the first piece I learned and man, oh man...do I love me some Claude Bolling.
